Stevie No it is not the same.....I do not believe cause there is no proof to justify what others believe in.......I can not prove a negative.....and no one can prove a belief ...but I can throw doubt on the authenticity of the Bible and question how people can reach such staggering conclusions based on no factual evidence....I admire folks faith but there is a fine line between faith and ignorance.....it seems that folk jump this line without any real question or consideration of alternatives.....or facts.
I ask the question is it healthy to follow any belief without doubt or question.....shows a certain gullibility IMO.
Not so long ago folk believed that the earth was flat and the sun died each night to be reborn again each day....It took time but they were proved wrong.....I wonder how long it will take to de bunk many religious beliefs.....we are discovering stuff day by day which throws even more doubt on certain beliefs and religious ideas......Before Christianity there were so many beliefs and Gods for every conceivable thing that it got confusing.........some are still confused...even with one God.
